Ubuntu – USB startup disk wont show in BIOS

bootusb

I cannot install Ubuntu since the USB start up volume will not show in BIOS as a bootable device.

I have Tails on a different USB drive and that works just fine.

I have tried creating the startup volume using
1. Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator
2. Windows Linux Live Usb Creator
but I get same result.

I am running out of ideas, why is it possible to boot Tails from USB but not the Ubuntu?

Maybe the USB drive was not configured properly. Here is a method which is proven to work :

Use the Disks tool (gnome-disk-utility) to create the Ubuntu installation media properly.

Open Disks and select Restore Disk Image from the menu on the top right of the application.

Choose the Ubuntu installation ISO file and the USB drive to write it to and start restoring.
